Question #N195
A survey of 100 people found that 60 people liked apples and 40 people liked oranges. Of those who liked apples, 20 also liked oranges. What is the probability that a randomly selected person from this group liked oranges, given that they liked apples?
A. 1/3
B. 1/2
C. 2/3
D. 3/5
Correct Answer is: C
The probability that a randomly selected person from this group liked oranges, given that they liked apples, is the number of people who liked both apples and oranges divided by the number of people who liked apples. From the given information, 20 people liked both apples and oranges, and 60 people liked apples. Thus, the probability is 20/60, or 1/3.
